Today we are glad to announce the second patch to the first version of JIRA Client. This patch contains fixes for 12 bugs found since the last version, introduces partial support for issue deletion and also has more fault-tolerant "move issue" action.

Now, when an issue is deleted in JIRA, you can also have it removed in JIRA Client by requesting "download query from server" or by picking up individual issues and requesting download. JIRA Client is still not able to automatically pick up issue deletion events from server because it's currently not possible to build such query for JIRA.

Moving issues has been supported in JIRA Client for quite a time, but it proved to be prone to various JIRA configuration peculiarities. When move happens, issue's fields may undergo arbitrary changes. This was causing "edit conflicts" or upload errors in prior versions. In JIRA Client 1.0.2 we relaxed strict checks for consistent changes in favor of functionality. If you have experienced problems with moving issues earlier, please try it with the latest version, and let us know if it doesn't work.

Upgrade is recommended for all users. To upgrade, download and install JIRA Client 1.0.2. As usual, it is a good idea to back up your workspace before installation.
